This cemetery, which dates back to the American Revolution-era, was active between 1798 and 1896.[1][2][3] It is one of the oldest extant places within Flower Hill.[4] Many prominent locals from this time period are buried at this cemetery, including members of the Burtis family, which owned a farm located partially over what is now the North Hempstead Country Club.[5] It is owned by the Incorporated Village of Flower Hill.[3][6]

In 2010, a local resident, James Morgan McLaughlin, arranged a cleanup effort of the cemetery, as part of his Eagle Scout project.[6]

The cemetery was designated a Village of Flower Hill Historic Landmark on April 3, 2023.[7]
